The Trey Anastasio Winter Symphony Tour

Trey Anastasio will embark on his first-ever orchestral tour this winter. Conducted By Scott Dunn, The Trey Anastasio Winter Symphony Tour will include performances with the Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Colorado Symphonies as well as The Los Angeles Philharmonic. Online Ticket Request Period Begins Thursday, December 1, 10:00 AM ET while tickets go on sale to the general public on December 8 and 9. The shows will likely include some of the material Anastasio created for a symphony setting, including “Time Turns Elastic” and “Guyute.” Anastasio has already performed with the New York Philharmonic, The Vermont Youth Symphony, The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra Nashville.

@Cloudy Night…..obviously you don’t have a grasp of what it takes to prepare 4 different symphony orchestras…preparing an orchestra is just a touch different than preparing a 4 or 5 person rock band. It takes substantially more time to get a group that large in synch, especially with unfamiliar music that involves some improvisation (which they are not used to doing)...even when they are professionals.

Will there be a good amount of jamming?

Agreed, @adks12020. At least Trey gets to work with the same conductor for all four shows who will know the scores/tempi/changes, etc. These orchestras have never seen the arrangements they are going to be handed — they’ve played the Tchaik violin concerto 50 times with 50 different soloists with their part always the same — and they’re going to be hard, knowing Trey’s attention to detail. This is no joke for Trey or the 100 musicians with him on stage to make it sync. We’ve been waiting for him to play the Pittsburgh Symphony since the Baltimore show. It’s gonna be a rager!

Anyone go to Atlanta? I’m going to the Pittsburgh show and was wondering how the experience and vibe were.
